Head & Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injuries can occur from a car accident, a fall, or even a mild bump on the head. Even mild head injuries can cause headaches for more than a year due to the dysfunction of brain cells. More serious head and brain injuries can result in a need for a full or part-time caregiver.
​
From the start, we work with family members to ensure that they understand what to look for and how to care for their loved one. Often, families have no idea that a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can sometimes take months to show itself.

​If you have any of these symptoms, see the doctor immediately and call us:

​Children's Symptoms
Infants and young children with brain injuries may lack the communication skills to report headaches, sensory problems, confusion and similar symptoms. In a child with traumatic brain injury, you may observe:
  • Change in eating or nursing habits
  • Persistent crying and inability to be consoled
  • Unusual or easy irritability
  • Change in ability to pay attention
  • Change in sleep habits
  • Sad or depressed mood
  • Loss of interest in favorite toys or activities
Traumatic Brain Injuries require special legal and medical knowledge. We will provide you with both. This is an area of special interest to Jill and Steven Henderson. We have represented catastrophic head injury cases. These cases involve a ‘hands on’ approach. We work closely with family members and doctors to ensure the best care and understanding of the situation. ​
